Had a marketing call today from someone telling me how wonderful it would be for us to join Optus. As part of the deal we’d get a free camera phone or somesuch. Before he got all the way into his spiel, I told the guy I would never go with Optus. When he asked me … More Optus – no thanks.

Been watching a DVD tribute to John Lennon. Watching all the old footage of the concerts and the fashions etc really made me surprisingly homesick for ‘the old days. Quite sad really… time has flown on and like a lot of ‘older people’ I recall the days of my youth with some affection and regret … More Imagine…
